The Game of Cricket: Its History & Present
The origins of cricket lie somewhere in the Dark Ages - probably after the Roman Empire, almost certainly
before the Normans invaded England, and almost certainly somewhere in Northern Europe. All research
concedes that the game derived from a very old, widespread and uncomplicated pastime by which one player
served up an object, be it a small piece of wood or a ball, and another hit it with a suitably fashioned club.
How and when this club-ball game developed into one where the hitter defended a target against the thrower is
simply not known. Nor is there any evidence as to when points were awarded dependent upon how far the hitter
was able to despatch the missile; nor when helpers joined the two-player contest, thus beginning the evolution
into a team game; nor when the defining concept of placing wickets at either end of the pitch was adopted.
Etymological scholarship has variously placed the game in the Celtic, Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon, Dutch and
Norman-French traditions; sociological historians have variously attributed its mediaeval development to high-
born country landowners, emigré Flemish cloth-workers, shepherds on the close-cropped downland of south-
east England and the close-knit communities of iron- and glass-workers deep in the Kentish Weald. Most of
these theories have a solid academic basis, but none is backed with enough evidence to establish a watertight
case. The research goes on.
What is agreed is that by Tudor times cricket had evolved far enough from club-ball to be recognisable as the
game played today; that it was well established in many parts of Kent, Sussex and Surrey; that within a few
years it had become a feature of leisure time at a significant number of schools; and - a sure sign of the wide
acceptance of any game - that it had become popular enough among young men to earn the disapproval of local
magistrates.

Somewhere between 1700 and 1800, after nearly a thousand years of
development, the game that we know as "modern cricket" finally
emerged as a fully-defined team sport.
The only document that compares with the Laws of Cricket is
the Constitution of the United States of America, which came out
in 1788, i.e. a year earlier. The US Constitution, too, embodies Laws,
not rules....it is about the same length as the 1789 Laws of
Cricket...and both have profoundly influenced humankind over 200-
plus years. Posterity will be the judge as to which impact will be more
lasting or, more beneficial.

By 1900, the tide was turning against the amateur style of play in cricket.
Encouraged by the newly formed Imperial Cricket Conference, which sought to
develop and contain cricket within the boundaries of the British Empire, Australia
and India developed their own cadres of full-time professional cricketers, and staged
local tournaments (the Sheffield Shield in Australia, and the Pentangular in India) to
sustain and promote indigenous cricket talent. Other British colonies followed suit,
not long after.
By "sponsoring" players from the Empire in its own "professional" County
championships, the ICC further cemented the Imperial connection in cricket....and
left other countries out in the cold. The "Ashes", begun in the 1870s, took over center
stage in world cricket, and was followed by England vs South Africa, India vs
England, The West Indies vs the others, and so on. Finally, by the 1920s, The British
Commonwealth had taken over the dominant role in world cricket, and North
America had been relegated to the backwaters.

In the last 20 years, a sea change has taken place in cricket.
With the break-up of the British Empire, the old ICC hegemony was bound to
crumble.
Some former colonies developed their own cricket capabilities, and challenged the
"traditional" cricketing powers on their own turfs. As a result, he number of "major"
countries playing cricket has doubled in the fifty years since 1948, with Pakistan,
New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe joining the ranks. Even more significantly,
the non-white "majors" now outnumber the "white" ones on the International
Cricket Council, the successor to the old ICC, with the same initials but a very
different agenda.
Cricket also grew in popularity among "minor" countries (i.e. those without a
professional cadre and cricket facilities), which now have their own world
tournament.
Altogether, some 100 cricket-playing countries are now listed on the rosters of the
new ICC. And regional tournaments in Europe, Asia and Africa have also begun to
be played...meaning, there are enough participants to make such tournams feasible.

Some of the fun-and-games, and even the mayhem, of early cricket
has survived into the late 20th century. And the codes of behavior
instilled by the patriarchs of the modern sport in the 1780s can still
be found in the style and nuances of today’s cricket. "It is not
whether you win or lose, it is how you play the game"; ""It's not
cricket";"The Umpire's word is final, not to be questioned"...phrases
like these convey something of modern cricket's perennial spirit, and
more than two centuries of changes.
This can be dismissed as coincidence only by the most myopic of
observers. Instead, this strange fact should tell us what cricket may
mean to the world. It is something that we, as cricketers, need to
understand and explain.
